A remarkable Roman burial has been found at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, UK. When we lifted the lid off a three tonne stone coffin we were surprised to discover that the coffin had not filled with soil.
Instead, we found ourselves looking down on the skeleton of a woman who was cradling a young child in her arms.
More information is available at the project's website: http://www.wessexarch.co.uk/projects/wiltshire/boscombe/preserved-roman-remains/index.html

A team of archaeologists led by Brown's Stephen Houston has discovered a royal tomb in Guatemala, filled with materials that have been preserved for approximately 1,600 years.

As a fractal archeologist, I enjoy unearthing hidden gems that lie deep within the mathematical soil. These artifacts are phenotypic expressions of their 'genes' - their formulas.
